Casting about looking for somewhere to eat on a languid August evening, we came to La Pine d'Etain, which is situated in a rather nice street that's part of the pedestrian area in Montlucon. The owner was very welcoming. However, not all of the menu was available when we arrived and we settled for the roast pork and sauteed potatoes. Unfortunately the pork was served cold, which was a surprise to my companion. Nevertheless, it was quite tasty as was the cheese plate and mousse au chocolat that followed. All washed down with some local wine for a total bill of EUR30, which isn't bad for an evening's meal. Don't come here if you're searching for haute cruisine. Do come if you want to experience what a typical French brasserie can serve.

I was a little surprised when our local host pulled up in front for our dinner appointment. However, my faith in his judgment was justified. The ambience is unique: koi carp pond, bird cage, palm trees etc. Fortunately, the menu, service and cuisine matched up well. Everything was top notch. Highlights: seafood soup with melted Parmesan; veal with wild mushrooms; creme brûlée to die for. Yum!

They have a special device for removing all flavour from their pizzas. They can only be regenerated frozen. Overpriced and dreadful food. One of the reasons that French cuisine is faltering in France.BonjourMerci de précisez ce que vous avez manger car pour être précis vous avez mangés 3 pizzas Reine et une carafe d'eau. La pizza reine se compose de Champignons de Paris de sauce tomate de jambon blanc et des olives dites moi quels goût elle aurai du avoir avant de critiquer un établissement sur un produit qui à mon sens et le produit de base sans goût particulier. Les pâtes à pizza sont faites maison et que vous dire. Vous avez résumer ala cuisine de la France à une pizza bravo!!

My starter was marinated sardine fillets with beetroot and salad. The main course was fillet of daurade, skin nicely crisped but a little over cooked as was the accompanying mushroom risotto. The recommended dessert was profiteroles, a house speciality and they were the best course, covered in chocolate sauce and toasted almonds and accompanied by a scoop of pistachio ice cream. Service was somewhat formal and not very inviting.

We were wandering around this medieval town centre looking for somewhere to have an evening meal. We noticed this place was busy - always a good sign. All the outside tables were either taken or reserved but as it was over 35 degsC we were so glad to eat inside where it was a bit cooler. Attentive service, well presented home cooked food. Simply delicious... Very friendly, too.

Arrived in MontLucon, tired and hungry after a long drive. Wandered into town, about 8.00pm on a Thursday, and looked in a few restaurants.Chose this one partly because there were people in it, and also because my wife is coeliac (needs gluten free) and buckwheat crepes (gallettes) are usually GF. We were given our choice of tables and when I explained our GF requirement, we were given a reassuring "No Problem" and shown the list of standard gallettes on the menu.We shared a salad starter, and my wife had a Gallette, I had a "Composee" which I would describe as a Gourmet Gallette. Everything was delicious and very filling.The service was friendly and professional, A little thing, I demolished all the bread which accompanied the starter (as I was rather hungry), so just before the mains arrived, another basket of bread was placed on the table - I'm not sure if this was standard practice, it appeared that they had noticed how quickly I ate the bread and simply (professionally) supplied some more.Along with our meal, we had a half-litre pichet of wine, two coffees (very nice coffee) and the total bill was 42 euro. Pretty good for France.It does more than crepes/gallettes - we just didn't look at the other options.The restaurant filled up very quickly after we arrived so it is obviously a popular spot with the locals. We chose very well.Highly recommended.

This is proberly one of the best resturants in Montlucon. We went here a pax of 8 to a business dinner. I arrived early waiting for the rest of the party. As I do not speak french it was imposible to communicate with the staff. As a result I was waiting outside (lovely surroundings) for 20 minutes, not once was I offered to order a drink. Strange and not okOnce all 8 was seated the servings started. bread missing at one plate, we had to continously pour our own wine and ran out more than once wich is not ok, slow service and not living up to the standard of the placeFood it self was very good, all servings was well prepared, well presented and tasteful, the real star of the show is definantly the food. We had the suggested menu of a soup with Foi Gras, free range stuffed turkey and french selection of cheese. For 40 EUR/pax really good value and worth every penny for sureLocation in the center of the old town is very nice and charming, a gem of a locationWould be happy to go back and feel torn in giving such a mixed review but service needs to step up to really let the place shine. great potential in food and locationDear Bjoern,Thanks a lot for sharing your experience in Le Grenier à Sel.We do our best to satisfy our guests, all your remarks were shared to the staff.It would be a great pleasure to see you in Le grenier à Sel,Best regards,

Crêperie Traditionnelle Bretonne Galettes bonnes pour les allergiques au gluten Crêpes et galettes faites à la main "minute".

We chose this based on trip advisor reviews but I think it is generally overrated. Although the food was very good the service was frantic and we felt either ignored or hassled to order which meant we couldn't order everything we wanted because he had rushed off. My husband speaks excellent French so it wasn't a lack of communication. Lots of minor little niggles which left an overall feeling of being underwhelmed. Oh and beware it doesn't take credit cards.Bonjour Madame, je prends enfin le temps de répondre à votre commentaire et note et vous en remercie. Je me souviens bien de votre demande de tomates fraîches un de ces soirs d'été. Nous ne sommes pas maitres du nombre de clients ni de parfois frénésie inexplicable pour une de nos garnitures fraîches sur un ou deux services d'une même journée. Nous disposons de plus de 80 crêpes et galettes, si vous n'arrivez pas à trouver votre bonheur nous sommes au regret de vous dire que nous ne ferons malgré tout pas de produits congelés ou en surnombre pour les jeter. La gestion des "pertes" est un poste clé de la rentabilité, voir survie d'un petit établissement comme le notre, ainsi que pour moi gage de produits de Qualité. Je suis satisfaite que la nourriture vous ai satisfaite, c'est un aspect principal. Quant au serveur seul assisté de mon mari handicapé, je vous prie de bien vouloir ne pas confondre entre le mot serveur et serviteur comme certains clients croient devoir exiger chez nous. Je sais tout ce qu'ils mettent de tout en oeuvre et de leur meilleur pour votre satisfaction et arranger les uns les autres quelque soit leur nombre, age, attentes et demandes, fidèles clients ou de passage ! En plus que nous n'avons toujours que 2 bras et 2 jambes ;-)

We visited La Cantine last week. We were booked a table by our local accommodation and our strict dietary requirements were outlined before our arrival. We were assured these could be met.When we arrived, we were left sitting at our table for 20 minutes before anyone came to serve us. When we asked what was prepared for our gluten-free vegetarian friends, we were told only one vegetarian meal could be provided instead of the 5 that we'd pre-ordered.The waiter was extremely rude so we had no choice but to leave.Very very disappointing given our requirements were outlined in advance.Cannot recommend this restaurant at all I'm afraid.

Le St Trop was recommended by our hotel, and was a superb choice for dinner. The staff were helpful, the menu was promising, and the wine list good. We were not disappointed - excellent food, nice wine, and very friendly service and ambience. All other diners were French, and we can't say whether the staff speak English. The price was perhaps a bit high - but worth it for, overall, one of the best dining experiences we've had in France for several years. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, although it's not very suitable for families with young children.
